			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/folders.jpg" alt="folders" title="folders" width="128" height="145" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11932" />If you are a messy downloader &#8211; that is someone who likes to place all downloads into one folder which grows very large in size over time &#8211; you might need a tool to sort the files and folders in that download folder automatically. There are other scenarios where sorting files and folders might come in handy. Maybe someone gave you a DVD full of files or you finally decided to move the downloaded P2P files from the incoming folder.</p>
<p>Whatever it is sorting them automatically is probably the wiser choice than performing that task manually. <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?topic=17828.msg159246#msg159246">I Like To Move It</a> is a small portable software program for the Windows operating system that can automatically move files and folders to another location. A ini file is used to define the rules. Thankfully it is usually only once necessary to edit the ini files to suit individual needs. Files and folders will be separated by default. All folders are moved with the files they are containing to the location and placed into a main _folders directory. The files on the other hand are moved based on rules defined in the ini of the program.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/sort_files_folders-500x170.jpg" alt="sort files folders" title="sort files folders" width="500" height="170" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-11933" /></p>
<p><span id="more-11935"></span>About 20 different file extensions are already defined in the ini files. It will for instance move multimedia files into appropriate folders. This includes audio files like mp3 or ogg into the audio folder or doc and pdf files into the document folder. Executable files are handled differently as the program recognizes files like ini or cmd files that belong to that executable file. These will also be moved.</p>
<p>It is possible to add additional extensions easily in the ini that can either be placed in one of the existing folders or into a new one. Files will be overwritten by default if they are found in the destination folder. This can also be changed in the ini. The process of moving does not take long and the application can be closed after the process has finished.</p>
